       Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) - Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein is trying to stir up the Palestinians to perpetrate
       'mega-attacks' against Israel so that an Israeli retaliation will be so strong that it will upset the entire region and prevent
       America from attacking Iraq, an Israeli analyst said on Tuesday.

Isn't Iraq one of the Arab nations perpetually pissing on the Palys as one of the many Arab communities that detest the Palys???

Doubt they'll do anything to help him out.

Saddam's a windbag. Little more.

I agree he is a bag of intestinal gas.  However, Israel still has a few unresolved issues with Iraq over some Scuds.  Little doubt they can kick iraq's ass - you DO remember the former reactor do you not?  Soddom better watch his anus (his mouth knows better).

Suits me fine if Israel KIA (kicks Iraq's ass)

Is that "soddom" a freudian slip referencing Saddam's sexual proclivities???

[b]The Palestinians are needed by many.[/b]

Saddam - for reasons stated.
Israel - to keep getting billions from US taxpayers
Saudis - to keep the heat off their lying, worthless asses.
United States - cover to keep giving billions to Israel and to shield the worthless Saudi royal family.

Sad, but true. The ultimate world pawn.

Iraq has said for a long time that it will send a "Liberation Army" to assist the Palestinians when they are attacked by Israel.  

That is why the US wants to take out Saddam ASAP.  With Saddam in power, the region will remain unstable.  (FWIW, as long as Israel exists, the region will remain unstable)

It is moderately true that the other Arab states could give the "Palestinians" a homeland.  There is also some true to the argument that the Palestinians are not liked by the Jordainians, Syrians, Iraqis, etc.  However, they are a convenient, regional, tool to be used to push the Israelis into the sea.  

Simply put, why would the other arab states create a homeland for the Palestinians, when they can use them as the frontline troops for pushing the Jews back into the sea?

Also, when (not if, but when) Israel decides to exapnd its borders, clean its house, and remove the threat of widespread Palestinian attacks, the other Arab states will join in the regional war.  It won't be pretty.

Iraq knows this, and hopes to foment the attack before the US can remove it from that game.
